The main IDEA for this project is to create CMS which can be handled with simple ReST editor. Standard features like every CMS has included: simple pages, blog articles, archive, menus and tags.

To run django-gitcms you should install:

Django framework (1.1 or higher)

    pip install django

Framework will store all content from files to database. Every page request will be constructed from database records.:

Python YAML (3.09 or higher)

    pip install PyYAML

Used to parse special elements from ReST file like author name, page title, date and so on.:

Docutils (0.7 or higher)

    pip install docutils

For ReST parsing of course.:

Pygments (1.4 or higher)

    pip install pygments

For code highlighting.

Install required dependencies (above) and build database with:

python manage.py syncdb

Load all content from files to database with:

python manage.py gitcmsload

And then run:

python manage.py runserver

You should now see your page at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
